How do I retrieve the index of the current toolbar in the toolbox?

Toolboxes arrange toolbars in some order and assign each toolbar to an index. Currently, the implementation appends newly added toolbars to the end of a list, so integral indexes for toolbars are incremented by one for each new toolbar. The following code fragment shows how to get the index of a toolbar in your toolbox:

#retrieve the index of the active toolbar in toolbox
toolbarNum = toolbox.get_current_toolbar()

How do I add a toolbar to a toolbox?

Toolbars can be added to a toolbox using add_toolbar(). Just provide a name for the toolbar as well as a handle on the toolbar object that has been created.
